01
Role mandate
Build a practical learning platform for ethical global health, public health methods, leadership and project delivery.
Why this role exists now
HIF volunteers need shared foundations before they work across cultures, sensitive settings or complex health systems.
02
Outcomes you would own
01
A minimum viable Academy with four approved foundation modules.
02
Role-linked learning pathways and supervisor discussion guides.
03
An accessible, reviewable content-production standard.
04
A pilot evaluation measuring confidence, judgement and applied learning.
Core responsibilities
Define the Academy curriculum architecture and learner pathways.
Develop core modules with subject-matter and lived-experience reviewers.
Connect learning to real HIF missions and supervised practice.
Design accessible assessment, reflection and credential evidence.
Evaluate learning transfer rather than completion alone.
03
Your first 90 days
Days 1–30
Listen, learn and locate the work
Complete HIF induction, role boundaries and required checks.
Review the HIF Academy brief, evidence, partners and unresolved decisions.
Agree a 90-day workplan, communication rhythm and escalation map.
Days 31–60
Build the first useful thing
Build or test the first delivery-ready program component.
Invite review early from the people who will use or be affected by the work.
Record changes, risks and decisions instead of hiding uncertainty.
Days 61–90
Deliver, learn and hand over
Complete the agreed first milestone or document why it should change.
Review progress against success measures with your supervisor.
Publish a next-quarter plan and keep files ready for another volunteer.
04
What you need
Essential criteria
Learning design, education, training or curriculum-leadership experience.
Ability to create applied learning for diverse, distributed volunteers.
Strong evidence, accessibility and cultural-safety practice.
Desirable, not required
Health-professions education or global-health teaching.
Microcredential or online-learning platform experience.
05
How good work will be judged
Success measures
Learners can apply the material to safer, better project decisions.
Modules are reviewed, accessible and maintainable.
Completion never substitutes for role-specific supervision or competence.
Decision rights & escalation
Set day-to-day priorities within the approved role brief and agreed hours.
Recommend changes to scope, timing or method and document the rationale.
Pause your own activity and escalate when safety, consent, quality or capacity is unclear.
Escalate budget commitments, external promises, partner agreements and material changes to Director of Programs & Impact / HEAL Program Coordinator.
Clinical, safeguarding, privacy and public-claim decisions remain with the named qualified approver.
Role boundaries
This is an unpaid volunteer role. It does not create an employment relationship or expectation of future paid work.
Do not represent HIF publicly, sign agreements or commit money unless authority is explicitly documented.
Use only approved systems for personal, partner or program information.
The agreed weekly commitment is a ceiling to manage, not a minimum to exceed silently.
This role does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment or unsupervised patient contact.
No travel is assumed. Any future travel would require a separate brief, risk review and written approval.
06
Support, learning and wellbeing
Subject-matter reviewers and HIF program scenarios.
Design, video and volunteer-experience support.
A bounded foundation curriculum before elective expansion.
Scope and safety
Volunteers must not work outside their competence. Clinical, safeguarding and community-facing work requires role-specific supervision and escalation pathways.
Checks before you begin
Identity and right-to-volunteer confirmation.
One or two role-relevant references for leadership or higher-trust appointments.
Confidentiality, conflict-of-interest, privacy and code-of-conduct declarations.
07
How selection works
Evidence to include
A short statement explaining why this role and HIF’s health-equity mission fit your experience.
One specific example showing how you handled work relevant to education.
Your realistic availability against the published commitment of 4–6 hours per week.
Any required qualifications, registrations, portfolio links or work samples.
Conflicts, access needs or support adjustments you want the selection panel to consider.
Selection stages
Eligibility and completeness review
Assessment against the published essential criteria
Structured interview or practical conversation, if required
Relevant reference, credential and safeguarding checks
Outcome, induction and role-specific onboarding
Final selection decisions are made by people. AI is not used to automatically reject applicants.
